Linear stapler anastomosis reduces operative time and hospital stay compared to hand-sewn methods.
In infants, mean return of bowel movements was 24.82 hours in stapler group versus 47.56 hours in hand-sewn.
No anastomotic leaks were reported in either technique during the follow-up period.
Hospital stays were significantly shorter, with an average of 53.82 hours for the stapler group versus 79.56 hours for the hand-sewn group.
